Bring the magic of Katherine Rundell’s Impossible Creatures into your classroom with this Year 6 Katherine Rundell Creative Writing Activity Pack. Inspired by the hidden world of the Archipelago and its extraordinary beasts, these six activities give children the chance to invent creatures, explore uncharted islands and craft adventures of their own, while building key writing skills along the way.

Each activity follows the same easy-to-use structure. Your Mission sets a clear, focused writing task. Writer’s Secret explains a technique in child-friendly language with prompts to get pupils started. Bonus Quest offers an extra challenge for children who are ready to stretch themselves further.

Inside the pack, children will:

Mapping the Impossible: plan a story using character, setting, discovery, problem and ending, then add an unexpected twist.

The Guardian’s Bestiary: invent a mythical creature for a secret bestiary, using the rule of three to describe its appearance, powers and personality.

When the Wind Wakes: use personification to bring gentle, playful and fierce winds to life.

Bonds Beyond Words: write a scene in which a character meets an animal that understands them, using “show, don’t tell” to reveal feelings and build trust.

Into the Archipelago: describe an uncharted island using all five senses.

An Impossible Encounter: write a diary entry or letter about discovering a mythical creature in an ordinary place, using similes and then turning one into a metaphor.

With lined writing space on every page, the activities are ready to print and use straight away. They work well as standalone lessons, writing warm-ups, homework tasks or enrichment for confident writers. They’re perfect for sparking imagination, celebrating a much-loved author or enjoying alongside a class read of Impossible Creatures.
